The St. Marien Cathedral is one of the most important hall churches of the Upper Saxon late Gothic period.

Built in the 12th century, the building was rebuilt in the late Gothic style between 1453 and 1565. Between 1671 and 1677 today's baroque spire was put on. With a height of 88 meters, it is still the tallest building in Zwickau.

At the end of the 19th century the buttresses received another sculptural program depicting apostles, prophets and figures of the Reformation.

Inside, visitors will find numerous art treasures, such as the winged altar by Dürer teacher Michael Wohlgemuth or the figural group of the Lamentation of Christ by Peter Breuer.

In the baptismal register of the Marienkirche, the baptism of little Robert Schumann on June 14, 1810 is attested. It was here that he had one of his first public appearances: at the age of eleven, Schumann played the pianist in the performance of the oratorio “The Last Judgment” under the direction of his teacher Johann Gottfried Kuntsch. He later wrote: "It is one of the strangest buildings in Saxony, dark and somewhat fantastic in appearance."
